Soft shades are big for spring, and are just as dressy as black.
I love jackets. Some women hide behind long hair, I hide behind a jacket. The thing about jackets is that I can be wearing a tee shirt and jeans and feel self conscious about how a flimsy shirt makes my stomach look bigger, my boobs look saggier. I put on a jacket and voila! everything is concealed. If I add lipstick, a scarf, earrings and cute flats (see earlier post!) I am transformed into someone who looks way more put together than I ever feel. The jackets here are all under $150; some are on sale. They cover a few of the trends right now---ladylike, military and the still popular boyfriend jacket. Nearly all of them are hip length; when worn with a long top, the short jacket becomes just as figure flattering as the others.
